I have been taking Cat's Claw for about 3 months, working up to what 
I understand to be a "therapeutic dose" (3000 mg/day).  I am taking the 
Cat's Claw for help with connective tissue disease/fibromyalgia (with 
severe muscle pain & contraction) and CFIDS symptoms.  

Thus far I have not yet noticed any beneficial results (I'm up to 2400 
mg/day).  However, I am experiencing some distressing colon & 
gallbladder/ liver congestion.  I'm not sure if this is a result of the 
Cat's Claw or not.  I'm still hanging in with it, hoping that after 
reaching "therapeutic dose" for awhile I'll experience some positive results.

Is there anyone else out there taking Cat's Claw who can offer personal 
experiences??  I'd like to hear experiences, positive and/or negative.
